Hi,I am Dr. Robert Galamaga (Hematologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I was recently diagnosed with anemia after months of feeling tired. I wouldmhave insommnia at night and occasionally, i would snore. Now that im taking iron twice a day- increased my dietary iron intake- Iam sleeping better and my daytime energy has significantly improved. My husband tells me that i dont snore anymore,so i was wondering if snoring is linked to anemia?
Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your clinical history and query, my opinion is as follows: 1. Anemia causes tiredness and leads to irregular sleep pattern. 2. Once anemia improves, tiredness disappears and you get back to regular sleep pattern. 3. During tired sleep, snores are common. As you daytime energy has improved, it has improved.
